4 BOAT OPERATION Engine Inspection Remember your WOBBS every morning: Water (Coolant), Oil, Bilges (Inspect and Pump-out), Belts and Sea Strainer. Check the level of COOLANT in the expansion tanks. Check the level of OIL in each engine by checking your dipsticks located port side on top of engine. Look at the etch marks on each dipstick that indicate the proper oil level. DO NOT OVERFILL OIL! Only fill if oil levels are below the ½ way mark. Please use a paper towel or oil rag, not the dish towels! Check the general condition of the BELTS, HOSES, and FUEL LINES. Ensure the valve on each RAW WATER THRU-HULL is in the open position (lever in-line with valve). Observe the glass of each RAW WATER STRAINER for debris. If necessary, close the seacock, open the strainer cover, clean the strainer, and reassemble. Remember to reopen the seacock. Check your generator fluids as well. Start-Up Before starting the engine, do your inspection. The engine should be started from the lower helm station. Ensure GEARSHIFTS are in neutral, or the engines cannot be started because of the neutral lockout. THROTTLES should be run up and down and then brought almost back to the idle position. Insert the key into the IGNITION SWITCH. Turn the key fully clockwise to pre-heat the engine. Press the black start button. If the starter does not engage when the button is pushed, move the gearshift lever slightly until you find neutral and try again while pushing the button. If the engine cranks slowly or fails to turn over, check the condition of the battery on the ELECTRICAL PANEL. If the battery is low, try the BATTERY ISLOLATOR SWITCHES located just left of the lower steering wheel to connect the another engine battery. Turn off after using. Move the THROTTLE to raise the engine speed to 1000 rpm on the TACHOMETER. Warm the engine for about 5 minutes before engaging transmission, remember to throttle back to idle before engaging the transmission. Observe the readings of the gauges. The oil pressure will register about 55 PSI at idle. The engine temperature should rise slowly. Note -- If oil pressure is low, shut down engine, and inspect engine compartment and look for possible cause (for example, loss of oil.) Caution -- If an engine is overheating or there is lack of raw water expelled in the engine exhaust, stop the engine immediately. Recheck the raw water-cooling system to ensure the seacock is open (handle in-line with valve). Next, check the raw water strainer for debris. Remove the strainer, clean, re-assemble, and reopen the raw water intake valve (seacock). Restart the engine and re-check water flow from the exhaust. If water is not flowing properly, the RAW WATER PUMP may need to be serviced. Seek help /10/2012

5 Shut-Down Before shutting down, allow the engine to idle for about 5 minutes to cool it gradually. The time engaged in preparing to dock the boat is usually sufficient. Ensure the GEARSHIFT is in the neutral position and the THROTTLE is in the idle position. Turn off the engine by pushing the red button. Getting Underway DISCONNECT the shore power cord (see 110-Volt next page). Close the PORTHOLES, WINDOWS, and FORWARD HATCH. Turn on your VHF and electronics. ASSIGN crew members their various positions. Once outside the marina, idle the engines while crew brings in fenders and lines. Cruising All close quarters maneuvering should always take place at the upper helm. Engage the GEARSHIFT. Ensure the throttles are in the idle position before engaging the gearshift to avoid transmission damage. Cruising speed is a maximum of about 2200RPMS. If you run at 1800 RPMS you will cruise at 8 knots and use only 2.5 gallons of diesel per hour. Your speed will vary depending upon the weight and load and weather conditions. Note -- Avoid higher engine speeds as it causes higher engine temperature, possible damage, and higher fuel consumption. Docking During docking, use the FLYBRIDGE HELM for greater visibility to the stern. Have your crews make ready the lines and fenders and give clear instructions on how you will be docking. Often times your crew will need to step off from the swim step with the stern line. Another crew member will need to be at the bow or mid-ships to hand over the next lines. Bow and Stern Thrusters Turn on the switches on the electrical panel. Push both of the ON buttons at one time to activate the control. Push the control sticks in the direction you wish the boat to go. Don t use the thrusters for more than about 30 seconds. Take a break and use them again if you need more correction. Fueling Up OPEN FILLER CAPS located at the sides of the pilot house, you do not need a deck key. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT FUEL! DIESEL! DIESEL! DIESEL! MAKE SURE IT IS GOING INTO THE RIGHT DECK FILL! DOUBLE-CHECK! Before pumping, have an oil/fuel sorbs handy to soak up spilled fuel. You should have a rough idea of the number of gallons you will need by the engine hour indicator. Also periodically have someone push the port or starboard fuel tank button to watch the fuel gauge at the lower helm station /10/2012

6 Place the DIESEL nozzle into the tank opening, pump slowly and evenly, and note the sound of the fuel flow. Pumping too fast may not allow enough time for air to escape, which may result in spouting from the tank opening. As the tank fills, the sound will rise in pitch or gurgle. Pay attention to the TANK OVERFLOW VENT on the outside of the pilot house near the tank opening. The sound may indicate that the tank is nearly full. Top off carefully, and be prepared to catch spilled fuel. Spillage may result in a nasty fine from law enforcement. Replace tank cap. Turn on blower before starting engines. Caution -- Clean up splatter and spillage immediately for environmental and health reasons. Wash hands with soap and water thoroughly. BOAT ELECTRICAL The electrical system is divided into two distribution systems: 110-volt AC and 12-volt DC. The systems are controlled from the AC ELECTRICAL PANEL located next to the inside helm, the DC AUXILIARY PANEL located above the AC PANEL, and the BATTERY SWITCHES FOUND on the DC PANEL and to the left of the steering wheel. When not connected to shore power, batteries are providing all power. Therefore, monitor the use of onboard electricity carefully with your volt meter located on the DC PANEL, and turn off electrical devices that are not needed. For almost all normal use you should not have to change the settings on any of the switches The breakers are labeled with there function. 110-Volt AC System SHORE POWER supports all AC equipment and receptacles on board, as well as the battery chargers. To connect to shore power, plug the 30 amp POWER CORD into the boat and then into the dock receptacle. Check the power rating/plug size of the nearest dock receptacle (that is 50 amp, 30 amp, 20 amp, or 15 amp). If necessary, add a CORD ADAPTER located in the lazerette. Turn the dock power on. Cords coming off the bow can be wrapped loosely around the bow line. At the ELECTRICAL PANEL, slide the cover from shorepower to generator, flip the SHORE CIRCUIT BREAKER on. Turn the main breaker on. Check for reverse polarity by checking the indicator light. Then turn on appropriate breakers for battery charger, refrigeration, water heater, and inverter to charge the house batteries. Watch you volt meter for load. If the load exceeds voltage, you will pop your breaker. If this occurs, wait to turn on one of your systems (i.e. water heater) until your use of volts drop. If your outlets fail to work, check your GFIs to make sure that they have not been tripped. Inverter Power The INVERTER provides AC power to the 110-volt receptacle plugs (i.e. the microwave oven) when the boat is disconnected from shore power. The inverter does not provide power to the water heater or the - 6-5/10/2012

7 battery charger. Your inverter panel is located upper left on the overhead panel to the right of the stereo. with an on/off switch. Make certain that it is on. The actual inverter is located lazerette. The inverter s power source is the DC house or inverter batteries located the lazerette The quantity of DC power is limited to the capacity of these batteries... Therefore, running hair dryers, toaster, coffeepots, space heater, etc. and will quickly discharge the house/inverter batteries. Use these items VERY SPARINGLY! Monitor your battery usage very carefully! When connected to shore power, the inverter automatically becomes a battery charger for the 12-volt HOUSE BATTERIES. Should you detect the inverter failing to charge the house batteries, check the circuit breaker in the AC Panel. And the inverter control panel. Also, there is usually a circuit breakers located on top of the inverter box. Generator To start your GENERATOR, first check that your generator s fluids are topped off and the raw water intake is open. The generator controls are located to the left of the steering wheel next to the battery switches. First pre-heat the generator for about 20 seconds by holding down the top switch. Then while still pre-heating pull up on the lower start switch. Hold the switch in that position while the generator catches. (about 5-10 seconds). Make sure water and exhaust is exiting out the port side. The exit is under water so please look carefully. After generator is running, turn your AC distribution switch to generator by sliding the cover to shore power and turning on the breaker. Then turn on AC systems as you would on shore power one system at a time. To turn the generator off, first take off the load by turning off AC breakers. Then turn off main AC distribution switch. Lastly kill the generator by pushing the generator switch down to off until it dies. House (12-volt) System Five battery banks support 12-volt DC power: 1) Main engine battery 2) Bow Thruster battery 3) house battery bank 4) Stern Thruster bank 5) Generator battery The BATTERY ISOLATOR SWITCHES are located to the left of the steering wheel. Normally, leave ALL SWITCHES in the ON position as you found them. In normal use you should not have to change any of the switch settings Note -- Do not change the position of the switches while the engines are running or the alternator diodes will be damaged. Change positions with the engines off. Your 12 volt panel shows all the systems supported by your batteries. Primarily you will be turning on the breakers for your lights, water pressure, electronics, ignition, etc. Bilge pumps should always be left on. Your breakers such as propane should always be turned off after every use. House Battery Bank & Switch The HOUSE BATTERY BANK provides power for all DC systems, except the engines, generator, thrusters and automatic bilge pumps. When disconnected from shore power, all 12-volt devices drain the - 7-5/10/2012

8 house battery. Use devices as needed. The DC voltmeter on the DC panel can be switched between Engine Start, Generator and House Battery banks to measure charging or resting battery voltages. When a battery bank is being charged, the voltage will read from about 13.1 volts to 14.4 volts depending upon state-of-charge of the battery bank. When the battery bank is at rest, (that is, not being charged), the voltmeter can give a rough indication of the state-of-charge of the battery bank. all batteries are charged by the engine ALTERNATOR while underway. The engine/house batteries are charged by the BATTERY CHARGER when connected to shore power. Ensure the Battery Charger and Inverter circuit breakers at the electrical panel are ON. The GENERATOR will also charge the batteries Battery State Voltage (Wet Cell Battery) volts 100% volts 75% volts 50% volts 25% volts 0% Battery Parallel Switch There is a dedicated ENGINE BATTERY to provide starting power. However, should the engine battery be insufficiently charged to start its engine, the other batteries may be momentarily connected to provide a boost. Press the BATTERY ISOLATOR SWITCHS located to the left of the steering wheel; connect the engine start battery to one of the other banks. Turn off after the engines starts up /10/2012

9 SANITATION SYSTEM Marine Toilet It is important that every member of the crew be informed on the proper use of the MARINE TOILET. The valves, openings, and pumps are small and may clog easily. If the toilet clogs, it is YOUR RESONSIBILITY! Always pump the head for children, so you can make sure nothing foreign is being flushed. Caution Never put paper towels, tampons, Kleenex, sanitary napkins, household toilet paper, or food into the marine toilet. Use only the special dissolving marine toilet tissue provided by AYC. To use the toilet, push the BEFORE USE button. The toilet will fill with water. Afterwards, push the AFTER USE button and the toilet will flush and pump its self dry. Clean the toilet as necessary. The toilets use fresh water to pump, this means that each time it is used fresh water is consumed and the holding tank is filled. The TOILET THRU-HULL is located under the sink in each head, if you need to shut off the water to the toilet. Clean the toilet as necessary. Holding Tank The sanitation HOLDING TANK holds approximately 55 gallons. Be aware of the rate of waste production. (about 1 gallon per flush) With an overfilled tank, it is possible to break a hose, clog a vent, or burst the tank. The result will be indescribable catastrophe and an EXPENSIVE FIX to you. Empty the tank EVERY OTHER DAY to avoid this problem. The HOLDING TANK is located under the floor in the forward state room. Some may be subject to a visual check with a flashlight or the watermelon test by thumping it. There is a tank watch warning light located to the right of the steering wheel, but do not rely upon this as they often get clogged. The holding tank is emptied in one of two ways: - 9-5/10/2012

10 #1 At the Marine Pump-Out Station, remove the WASTE CAP located forward of the starboard door on the pilot house. Insert the pump-out nozzle into the waste opening. Double-check your deck fitting! You may need an adaptor for some pump out set ups, this is located in a clear plastic box in the aft deck storage box. Turn on pump and open valve located on handle. When pumping is finished, close lever on handle and turn off pump. Remove from deck fitting. If there is a fresh water hose on the dock, rinse the tank by adding 2 minutes of water into tank. Then repump to leave the tank rinsed for the next charter. This also eliminates head odors. #2 The tank s contents can be discharged with the MACERATOR only in Canadian waters. To operate the macerator, open the through hull for the pump(blue handle) and open the valve at the tank (red handle)turn on the MACERATOR SWITCH on the DC electrical panel. Listen to the macerator s sound. When the pitch becomes higher, the tank is empty. Discharge may be observed on the port side. It should only take a few minutes to empty the tank Y-Valve The Y-VALVE directs waste effluent into the sanitation-holding tank or flushes the effluent directly overboard. The Y-VALVE is located under the sink in each head. A plastic strap keeps the handle pointed to the holding tank the normal position. Y-valves are usually wire-tied to the holding tank position in respect to Coast Guard regulations. Please leave it as is unless there is an emergency. Be familiar with the applicable laws concerning dumping sewage directly overboard. WATER SYSTEM Fresh Water Tank(s) The FRESH WATER TANK holds 250 gallons. Observe the water level by the gauge at the lower helm station and pressing the button marked water tank. Waste water from the sinks and showers drains overboard through various thru-hulls usually located under the sinks. To refill the tank, remove the WATER CAP located starboard side aft end of the pilot house. Avoid flushing debris from the deck into the tank opening. DO NOT fill water and diesel at the same time! Fresh Water Pressure Pump The WATER PRESSURE PUMP is located engine room on the port side next to the fuel tank. Activate pump at the DC panel by turning on the breaker. If the water pump continues to run, you are either out of water or might have an air lock and need to bleed the system by opening up a faucet. If you run out of water SHUT OFF YOUR HOT WATER HEATER on the AC panel. Serious damage can occur! Hot Water Tank The HOT WATER HEATER has a 12 gallon capacity tank and is available when connected to shore power or via a heat exchanger underway. To use on shore power, flip on the water heater circuit breaker /10/2012

11 on the AC electrical panel. Do not use the water heater if the water tank level is very low. The water heater is located engine room at the forward starboard side. Shower Before taking a SHOWER, make sure water pressure and shower sump breakers are on. Take only very short boat showers (turning off water between soaping up and rinsing). To keep shower tidy wipe down the shower stall and floor. Check for accumulation of hair in the shower and sink drains. An additional FRESH WATER SHOWER is located in the aft stateroom on the starboard side. Ensure that the faucets and nozzle are completely off after use. A pressured RAW WATER WASHDOWN is available from a hose spigot on the aft side of the storage box aft end on the cabin. To activate, flip the DECK WASH SWITCH (#21)located main DC panel After use, turn the switch off to prevent pump burn out, and ensure no object leans on the switch to turn it on accidentally. GALLEY Stove/oven The stove and oven is propane. Your propane stove is activated by the following steps: #1 Turn on the propane tank located on the rear deck aft of the flying bridge, next to the dingy. #2 Turn on the DC breaker labeled GAS ALARM (#24)and the solenoid switch located above the cabinets, above the stove.. #3 Turn on the gas at the stove (Press in knob) and light burner. You might need to hold knob in For a few seconds while the thermo coupler warms up. The same applies to lighting the oven. When finished cooking turn off the switches and the bottle. Refrigerator The REFRIGERATOR is dual voltage (12-volt and 110-volt power). It will automatically use 110-volt power when the shore power is connected; otherwise, it will operate on 12-volt power. Monitor the use of /10/2012

12 the refrigerator when the engines are not charging the 12-volt battery system. The local power switch is located below the front door. It can be turned down to the lowest position when anchored or moored or turned off when turning in for the night. HEATING SYSTEM Diesel Heater ( DC) The DIESEL FORCED-AIR FURNACE located engine room provides heat in the same way as a household furnace. Turn on the TOGGLE SWITCH located on the THEROMSTAT which is on the aft bulkhead of the settee table, labeled ESPAR. Set the THERMOSTAT to the desired temperature. Check The furnace EXHAUST PORT located port side hull, amidships for any obstruction such as fenders or lines. Do not block this opening when operating the furnace. Heat will damage fiberglass or rubber. Once it is on, allow it to run for at least 15 minutes before turning it off. Turn off the furnace heater by turning switch back off. ELECTRONICS All electronic manuals are located in the lower closet in the aft stateroom. Also there are quick reference cards in the chart drawer under the port side dash. VHF Radio There are 2 VHF RADIOS. The first is located at the lower helm station and the second is at the flying bridge. Make sure the VHF breaker (#33)is on located at the main DC panel. There is a second VHF RADIO located in the flying bridge instrument panel Turn on by pushing the power button on either radio. Always monitor channel 16 while underway. Depth Sounder There are 2 DEPTH SOUNDERS, one is part of the combined RADAR/GPS PLOTTER/FISH FINDER and the other is a TRIDATA REPEATER. There are displays at both the upper and lower helm stations. To activate the upper DEPTH SOUNDER, turn on the breaker DEPTH (#36) press the switch bridge instrument panel. Set the scale, shallow alarm, and deep alarm as desired. The sounder should provide reliable readings in shallow waters. If in doubt, switch it off, and then turn it back on to reset sounder. If your reading is blinking, it is a FALSE reading. False readings can occur in depths of more then 200 feet or in areas of string currents or tides. Remember to ALWAYS consult your charts for depth! Radar/ Global Positioning System (GPS/Chart Ploter)/ Fish Finder /10/2012

13 To operate the RAYMARINE RADAR/GPS/FISH FINDER turn on the breaker labeled RADAR (#30) and the breaker labeled FISH FINDER: (#35)press and hold the red POWER button to turn the unit on. To turn off, press and hold POWER button about 3 seconds. Refer to the quick reference card at chart storage under the port side counter. Remember you are not allowed to travel in FOG or in serious wind conditions. Press the page button to scroll through functions. Refer to the manual normally found aft stateroom in the lower closet. Note -- GPS is considered a navigation aid. Do not rely on it. Compasses, charts, and dividers are the tools to plot position, course, and speed. Autopilot System To turn on the RAYMARINE AUTOPILOT turn on breaker labeled AUTOPILOT (#31). Note there is a RAYMARINE S100 remote control which should be on the dash of the lower helm station. A quick reference card is in the chart table storage. ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS AM/FM/CD/iPod Stereo Radio The Jensen brand audio unit is located overhead console above the chart table. A remote control is located on the flying bridge console. It operates like a normal car radio, turn on breaker STEREO (#29). There are 4 speakers (stereo) in the salon and two (stereo) on the bridge. The ipod cable is on the console in front of the lower helm station. The FADERcontrols the distribution of the salon and bridge speakers. The BALANCE controls the right to left speakers. There is a control diagram in the back of this manual. TV/VCR A TV is stored in the entertainment cabinet under the chart table. The TV swings out for better viewing angles. The DVD player is in the cabinet behind the dinette. The remote controls are also in that cabinet. To use turn on the AC breaker TV/VCR (#9), turn on the TV power and DVD power using the remote controls. Make sure the TV is on Channel 3 and remember to point the DVD remote at the DVD player. ANCHORING The primary WORKING ANCHOR is a Lewmar Claw 44lb and is attached to 200ft chain and 100ft nylon line passed through the deck from the ANCHOR LOCKER. The locker can be accessed through the door on the port side of the deck. The WINDLASS POWER SWITCH is located to the right of the lower steering wheel. Also turn on the breaker labeled WINDLASS (#14). At the bow, tap gently on the down foot control to lower the anchor located on the left of the Samson post. If necessary, guide the anchor over the anchor roller to prevent binding on the pulpit /10/2012

14 Let out sufficient ANCHOR RODE (chain and nylon line) before setting the anchor. Colored markers are placed every 25feet on the chain and nylon rode, indicated amount of rode. If the anchorage is crowded put down at least a 3 to 1 scope (60 feet for 20 feet of water), back the anchor in with a short burst from the engine. Then let out additional scope dependent upon conditions. ALWAYS use the anchor bridal when anchoring. The bridal is located in the port locker next to the windlass. Place the SS plate over a link of the chain below the bow pulpit. Take each line to the hawse hole and secure them as if you were tying a dock line. Let out enough chain so that the lines are bearing the pull from the anchor, there should be a loop of slack chain. Try to keep the SS plate out of the water. REMEMBER to remove the SS plate before you start raising the anchor. Failure to due so will result in damage to the system. Before raising the anchor, ALWAYS start the engines as it uses large amounts of power. Turn on the WINDLASS SWITCH and as the boat moves toward the anchor, press the up control to take up slack line. Give the windlass short rests as you are pulling it up. Place yourself in position to guide the anchor onto the roller. As the anchor rises, be careful not to allow it to swing against the hull. Wash it down with the wash down pump before it goes into anchor locker. Close the plastic covers on the FOOT PEDAL CONTROLS. Turn off the WINDLASS POWER SWITCH. A SPARE GUARDIAN ANCHOR is normally stowed AFT LAZERETTE. The 200ft SPARE ANCHOR RODE is located in AFT LAZERETTE. Attach the rode securely to the chain shackle. Mooring Cans The State Park Sticker on your vessel allows you to pick up the MOORING CANS in the parks for free. You only need to register at the kiosk usually located at the heads of the docks. Mooring cans have a metal triangle at the top upon which is a metal ring. The metal ring is attached to the chain which secures your boat. IT IS VERY HEAVY. The strongest member of your crew should be picked for this job. Come up to the CAN into the wind as you would for anchoring. Have crew members on the bow, one with a boat hook and one with a mooring line secured through the port anchor well. As you are coming slowly up to the can have the crew holding the boat hook point at the can with the hook so the skipper always knows where it is. Hook the can and bring the ring up to the boat to allow the second crew to thread the ring with the YELLOW MOORING BRIDLE in the port anchor locker. Release the hold with the boat hook. Your mooring line is led out the port anchor well, bring the end of the line back through the port side anchor well and secure to the Sampson Post. This configuration will keep the buoy from banging against the hull during the night and keep the line from wrapping around the buoy s anchoring chain /10/2012

15 String the line through the port side anchor well, to the buoy and back to the Sampson Post. This will prevent the buoy from bumping the hull during the night. BARBECUE The BARBECUE and MOUNTING BRACKET is stored left hand storage locker under the flying bridge console. Place MOUNTING BRACKET on the port rail aft corner of the boat by securely tightening the bolts. Reverse the procedure to dismount barbecue. Attach a PROPANE BOTTLE to the REGULATOR foundon the right side of the barbecue. Carefully light the unit, preferably with long-stem butane lighter. The barbecue generates a lot of heat and cooks hot and fast. Store the barbecue unit back in the port flying bridge locker. Please wipe with a paper towel before storing to prevent grease and dirt soiling the boat /10/2012

16 Note: Propane bottles are not stocked by AYC. You will need to purchase one if extras are not found on board. Caution -- For safety reasons, do not store an opened propane bottle within the salon or engine compartment. Chances are these will leak slightly once opened and propane gas could settle into low spaces. Store the bottles in the cockpit cabinet. Ensure gasoline and flammable materials are not near the barbecue. DINGHY & OUTBOARD MOTOR The ENDEAVOR DINGHY with a 9.8hp Tohatsu engine is stored on the aft deck. It has a capacity of about 1000pounds (motor, equipment, and 4 people). To deploy the dinghy, remove the cover, and turn on breaker labeled dingy winch (#37). The hand control for the lifting system is in a holster attaché to the rail just starboard of the mast. Using the bottom controls for the hook pay out line under the boom, keeping a gentle pull on the line to prevent the line from tangling. When the black mark on the line has come off the drum, attach the hook to the lifting harness in the dingy. Then using the upper controls, FIRST MOVE THE BOOM DOWNWARD, then disconnect the lines securing the boom to the corners of the deck rail. WARNING, FAILURE TO DISCONNECT THE LINES SECURING THE BOOM WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE RAIL AND DECK. When the boom has lifted the dingy high enough to clear the rails, start swinging the boom towards the water while keeping a hand on the dingy to maintain control of it. Lower the boom using the lower set of controls until the boom is parallel to the water. Then use the winch to lower the dingy into the water. Remember to tie off the dingy painter before disconnecting the bridle; otherwise the dingy could drift off. Reverse the process to put the dingy on the deck chocks. IF THE WATER IS TOO ROUGH, THE DINGY COULD SWING AS IT IS BEING LIFTED, WHICH COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BOAT. If the water is rough use the towing line located under the under seat storage and tow the dingy to a calm spot where you can safely raise the dingy. The dingy is equipped with landing wheels on the transom. Lift up and then push down to deploy them. Squeeze the locking bar and then lift up to retract them. When towing your dinghy, always keep it tight to the boat any time that you slow down or stop, Assign one of your crew members as the dinghy person to be responsible for taking up slack. You don t want to wrap a propeller. Coast Guard regulations state that any child 14 and under must wear a life jacket in a dinghy. It is a good idea for EVERYONE to follow this rule. CRABBING & FISHING Always check the fishing and crabbing requirements before you leave on your cruise. You will need a license. Many areas are CLOSED to crabbing and fishing on certain months. CRAB AWAY FROM THE BOAT! Lines can get wrapped around props. Fish-flavored cat food with the pop-up ringed lids works the best for a nice neat way to bait the ring. After minutes, retrieve the crab line and ring quickly. Measure the crabs using the CRAB MEASURING GAUGE normally located in the lazrette. Keep the male crabs of proper size (usually 6 ¼ inches across the carapace). Boil crabs about 12 minutes to cook /10/2012

17 After using, wash equipment thoroughly with fresh water (available from the cockpit shower faucet). Note -- Please do not store wet rings and gear inside the boat. OTHER: Safety & Bilge Pumps SAFETY should be paramount in your daily cruising. A MAN OVERBOARD DRILL should be discussed and perhaps even practiced with a life jacket. Remember you lifejackets are stowed under the flying bridge console on the right side. A few should always be out and ready. Your flares and safety equipment are located under the first step leading to the aft cabin. Trickster is equipped with 5 AUTOMATIC BILGE PUMPS. The master switch is located on the electrical panel. Normally, the switch will be left in the AUTO position. You may occasionally hear the pump operate due to condensation and water from the shaft log accumulating in the bilge. An AUXILIARY HAND OPERATED BILGE PUMP is operated in the forward cabin using the handle provided for that purpose is located in the lowest step next to the pump cover. This is used only in emergency situations. The ENGINE SPARES BOX (plastic orange color) is stowed in the engine room. This includes raw water impeller, pump parts and other small parts. Filters are located in the locker as you enter the engine room. Some Helpful Operation Tips /10/2012

18 Saving on Battery Power When you are away from the dock and shore power Trickster has two systems for providing AC power to run items like the microwave and outlets. Either the generator has to be running or the inverter is turned on to provide the power from the batteries. Clearly using the inverter for this use consumes battery power quickly, so consider running the generator for long periods of use. Also it helps conserve battery power to turn the inverter off when not needed. You can do this by pushing the lower left button on the inverter remote located above the chart table in the overhead console. If you have used the batteries, charge them by running the generator and monitor the inverter remote for when it shows bulk charging is complete. Note: if you can time the generator runs while you are moving it will help keep the anchorages quieter. Maximizing the Waste Holding Tank Capacity The holding tank is approximately 50 gallons. Figure about.6 gallons per flush and about 5 flushes per day or 20 flushes for a party of 4 per day, so the holding tank should be very full in four days. So planning to pump out or empty the holding tank every 3 to 4 days. Please check on the local regulations for where discharging is allowed (this is your responsibility), NOT allowed in the US and only in channels in Canada. Canada does have no discharge zones, please check and plan ahead. Manage the holding tank capacity by using shore facilities whenever possible and by monitoring the level of the tank. The Tank Watch holding tank indicator (breaker#) has four indicators, Empty, Low, Mid and Full. The Empty indicator is near the bottom of the tank and reflects about as low as can normally be pumped out. The Low indicator will come on after a relatively moderate amount of use. The Mid indicator is above the halfway point (rough estimate is about 40 gallons). When the Mid indicator comes on, start planning on pumping out in a day or so (the urgency depends on how quickly Mid was reached). You should never see the Full indicator! If you do, the tank is truly full. Do NOT flush even once. Overfilling the tank results in raw liquid sewage working its way back down the forward bilge and contaminating the Sanigard odor filter on the holding tank vent /10/2012
